Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhang Xiuhong
Yueju Baohe Pills are a type of traditional Chinese medicine, with the following primary functions and effects:
1. Regulating Liver Function and Relieving Qi Stagnation: Ingredients such as Cyperus rotundus (Xiangfu) and Chuanxiong (Ligusticum chuanxiong) in Yueju Baohe Pills can effectively regulate liver function and alleviate symptoms of liver Qi stagnation caused by emotional fluctuations and stress, such as chest tightness, flank pain, and low mood. This helps improve patients' emotional well-being and quality of life.
2. Strengthening the Spleen and Promoting Digestion: Components such as Atractylodes (Cangzhu) and Massa Medicata Fermentata (Shenqu) contained in the pills can enhance the digestive and absorptive functions of the spleen and stomach. They are effective in improving symptoms such as food accumulation, indigestion, and poor appetite, promoting normal metabolism of food and reducing gastrointestinal discomfort.
3. Clearing Heat and Resolving Dampness: Yueju Baohe Pills also have functions of clearing heat and removing dampness. They are suitable for symptoms caused by excessive internal damp-heat, such as bitter taste in the mouth, yellow and greasy tongue coating, and short, dark urine. By eliminating damp-heat from the body, these pills help balance body fluids and purify the internal environment.
However, this medicine should be used with caution by individuals with spleen-stomach yin deficiency, damp-heat obstruction, or stomach pain and epigastric fullness caused by excessive heat in the liver and stomach. Pregnant women should also use it cautiously under the guidance of a physician.
